Disclaimer: I do not own the Hunger Games
This is my first fanfiction, so read and review! Please!
Katniss POV
"Bye, everyone!" Gloriosa Prim Mellark said. She was our first child, dark haired like me, and blue eyed like Peeta.
"Bye!" I shouted, smiling an encouraging smile. I nudged Peeta, and he smiled too. Something about the first day of middle school seemed important to me, but I just couldn't place it.
"Why don't you guys ever smile for me?" Timothy Finnick Mellark asked. He was blond haired, and gray eyed. He was entering the second grade today, a big day for him because he could, "be with the big kids now".
When we had our kids, Peeta and I promised that I would get to name the first one, which I named after a plant, and Peeta named the second one after his brother.
As soon as she left our house in Victor's Village, I began to realize what I thought was important.
"This year is the year that they learn about the Hunger Games," I said, worried. If the games were still going on, this would be the year that they would be entered.
As Peeta came over to comfort me, Timmy asked, "What's the Hunger Games?"
We looked at each other, startled.
"It's a game that used to go on every year. They chose a boy and a girl from each district to play in it," Peeta said, hoping it would explain everything.
"But why is it bad?"
Peeta looked at me, lost for words.
"Because some people don't want to leave their families to go play in the games," I say.
"Oh. Well, I better get going. It's my first day being with the big kids!" Timmy exclaimed, smiling, a gap where his front two teeth were supposed to be.
"Bye!" I called. Peeta and I started to head for the kitchen to clean up.
"Why don't you stand and wave for me?" Timmy asked indignantly.
Peeta and I looked at each other. We sighed, and then stood at the doorway waving at Timmy.
Gloriosa POV
"Class, this year, you will be learning about the Hunger Games for our history class," Ms. Trinket said. "It's going to be a big, big year!"
"What's the Hunger Games?" I asked, hoping I didn't sound stupid.
"You don't know about the Hunger Games?" Ms. Trinket asked, her mouth starting to form into an "O" shape.
I shook my head.
"Well, Gloriosa, it is, well it was an annual event that took place in the Capitol. One boy and one girl were chosen from each district and they trained to fight in an arena. They were then put in an actual arena, in which only one victor would emerge out of the 24."
I nodded.
"I'm surprised you didn't know about the Hunger Games," Tartria said to me. "After all, both of your parents were in it."
"They were?" I exclaimed.
"Yeah. In fact, they were the people who ended it."
"My parents never mentioned anything about the Hunger Games before."
"They probably thought that you weren't fit to learn about the Hunger Games," Tartria said, with a toss of her hair. "You are the dull one, correct?" She laughed mockingly as she walked away.
Stupid Tartria, I thought.
